Recently I was given the opportunity to try CLIF SHOT BLOKS and write up a CLIF SHOT BLOKS review. These gummy energy chews are made by CLIF Bar & Company, which is the same company that makes CLIF Bars and LUNA Bars.

CLIF SHOT BLOKS Review

Taste: I have tried three packs of the CLIF SHOT BLOKS (Black Cherry, Citrus and Mountain Berry) and haven’t had any complaints. I’ve been especially partial to the CLIF SHOT BLOKS with caffeine in them – as you all know I’m a coffee lover at heart. The blocks come caffeine-free, with a half-serving of caffeine added, or full strength with a full-serving of caffeine. As a kid was never really into “gummy worms” or the like, but I actually enjoyed the taste and texture of the CLIF SHOT BLOKS.

Function: Typically an athlete would use these CLIF SHOT BLOKS as fuel on a long run or endurance event. While I haven’t tried the CLIF SHOT BLOKS out yet in any races, I have used them during two of my long runs (7 and 8 miles each) and have had no issues. I can’t say I felt any “jolt” of energy from the CLIF SHOT BLOKS, but I also wasn’t dragging.

Nutrition: During the course of my CLIF SHOT BLOKS review, I learned they mostly contain carbohydrates for fuel. They come in a 6-pack which is two servings. Each serving is 100 calories each, or the equivalent of one typical energy gel.

After writing this review I began buying CLIF SHOT BLOKS on my own and continue to use them during long runs and when I run half-marathons. I haven’t found a flavor I do not like, but if you are trying CLIF SHOT BLOKS for the first time I would recommend trying the CLIF SHOT BLOKS variety pack to find your favorite flavors.

Disclosure: I am not compensated for product reviews, unless otherwise stated. I was given a free sample of the product in exchange for writing a CLIF SHOT BLOKS review. Some links within this post are affiliate links.

  10. I learned that Clif has energy gels that are new and improved! I didn’t really know they even made energy gels. I will have to try them out!! 🙂 What a great giveaway!! I would love to try out all the Shot Bloks flavors.

  23. I didn’t realize they were such big supporters of buying organic. 100 million pounds of organics purchased since 2003 is a lot!

  30. I had no idea the blocks came caffinated! Ive only seen the noncaffinated ones here! I am so excited!! I love me a jolt midrun!

  39. I also tweeted about the giveaway even though it lessens my chances to win. I love Clif shot blocks!!

  43. I had no idea Clif uses only organic ingredients – definitely learned that key fact on the website today! I’d love to try shot blocks on my long runs.

  67. I leanred they have a new flavor of Mojo Bars (I love those bars…) Chocolate Almond Coconut! I usually go through 2 of these along with 4 of their Gels on my long runs

  76. i didn’t know how organic they really are. i’ve been the logo on the bars but didn’t know how extensive they followed it!

  80. I didn’t know Clif had a foundation and a winery! Too cool! I love the Clif shots – got a sample from my local Fleet Feet – but had no idea they had all those flavors! Yum!
